Prospects for studying the solar CNO cycle by means of a lithium neutrino detector

TL;DR

This paper discusses the potential of lithium detectors to study solar CNO neutrinos, analyzing current data and future prospects, including scenarios with variable neutrino fluxes due to solar material mixing.

Contribution

It introduces the use of lithium detectors for CNO neutrino detection and explores the implications of nonstationary solar models on neutrino flux measurements.

Findings

Lithium detectors show high sensitivity to CNO neutrinos.

Current data supports future experimental prospects.

Nonstationary models predict higher 13N neutrino fluxes.

Abstract

Lithium detectors have a high sensitivity to CNO neutrinos from the Sun. The present experimental data and prospects for future experiments on the detection of CNO neutrinos are discussed. A nonstationary case is considered when the flux of 13N neutrinos is higher than the standard solar model predicts due to the influx of fresh material from the peripheral layers to the solar core.
